Job 19:7

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Job 19:1-29

“I Know That My Redeemer Liveth” Job 19:1-29 In Job’s melancholy condition his friends seemed only to add vexation and trial. The hirelings who sojourned in his household looked on him with disdain; his kith and kin were alienated; it seemed as if the Almighty had an antipathy against him. So great was his physical suffering that the only sound part of his body seemed to be the skin of his gums and his teeth, Job 19:20 (that is, all he could do was to speak). Then he suddenly breaks into the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Job 19:1-29

To this terrible accusation Job replied first with a rebuke and a complaint. He demanded how long they would vex him, and declared that if he had erred, his sin was his own. If they would continue, let them know that all his suffering was God's doing. He then passed into a most terrible description of his condition. He cried for help, but had no answer from on high. As he found no answer in judgment from God, so he received no answer in pity from men. It is out of the depth of this darkness... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Job 19:7-21

Calvary Foregleams in Job Job 19:7-21 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. The story of Calvary is the story of the whole Bible. The Cross is not a message relegated to the Four Gospels and brought out therein merely because history forced its unfolding. The Cross was known to God and to Christ from before the foundation of the world. It was toward the Cross that Jesus Christ steadfastly moved during the whole course of man's history. Since Calvary and its redemptive work was the only basis by which sinners... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Job 19:1-29

Job 19. Job’ s Answer.— Here the gradual progress of Job’ s soul towards faith reaches its climax ( Job 19:25 f.). It is to be remembered that Job’ s problem is in reality twofold: it has a personal side, the problem of his individual relation to God, but also a more general aspect, the problem of the Divine providence. In this chapter we read the solution of the first half on the basis of a great venture of faith; the second half is really never fully solved. Job 19:1-Joshua : . Job... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Job 19:7

I cry out, to wit, unto God by prayer or appeal. Of wrong; that I am oppressed, either, 1. By my friends; or rather, 2. By God, who deals with me according to his sovereign power and exact and rigorous justice, and not with that equity and benignity which he showeth to the generality of men, and hath promised to good men, such as he knoweth me to be. There is no judgment: God will not hear my cause, nor pass sentence; which I might reasonably expect from him; but he quite neglects me, and hath... read more

NotesJob 19:23. “O that my words were now written!” The “words” understood as either—(1) Those now to be uttered. So JEROME, PISCATOR, CARYL, HENRY, &c. As an everlasting monument of his faith in the resurrection.—MAYER. Such as would come within the inscription on a rock; therefore, those contained in Job 19:25-27.—SCOTT. Or (2) Those which he had already uttered in defence of his innocence. So MERCER, NOYES, &c. All the declarations he had already made of his integrity, together with... read more

Chapter 19Then Job answered and said, How long will you vex my soul, and break me in pieces with your words? These ten times you have reproached me: and you're not ashamed that you made yourself like a stranger to me. And be it indeed that I have erred, my error remaineth with myself. If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach: Know now that God hath overthrown me, encompassed me in his net ( Job 19:1-6 ).Now this is the thing that upsets them, that he is... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Job 19:1-29

Job 19:3 . These ten times have ye reproached me. A form of speech which puts a certain number for one less certain. Job had no doubt noticed about ten principal arguments levelled against him. Job 19:6 . Know now that God hath overthrown me. Cease then from your asperities, and leave me in his hands. So is the sense of Job 19:21-22. Job 19:12 . His troops came against me; the Sabeans and Chaldeans, to take away my cattle, as in chap. 1. He sent them to strip me of my patriarchal... read more

Job 19:1-29Then Job answered and said.Complaints and confidencesI. Job bitterly complaining.1. He complains of the conduct of his friends, and especially their want of sympathy.(1) They exasperated him with their words.(2) With their persistent hostility.(3) With their callousness.(4) With their assumed superiority.Nothing tends more to aggravate a man’s suffering than the heartless and wordy talk of those who controvert his opinions in the hour of his distress.2. He complains of the conduct of... read more

Job 19:6-7Know new that God has overthrown me.The difficulties of unbeliefOne thing is to be noticed, with both Job and his friends the existence of God is a part of the problem, not to be discharged from it even hypothetically. The misfortunes of the good, the prosperity of the wicked, the inequalities and the caprices of fate--these are just what have to be reconciled with the existence of a just and all-powerful God. The discussion starts from the supposition of a temporal Providence. All... read more
